Reference :- Some folk appear to have stacked on a few extra pounds during lockdown .

Reference :-    Returning to the shops after lockdown , many people look to have gone up a size while isolating  .  Or were we already a nation of fatties ?   Sky anchor Paul Murray is blessed with a generous build , so we sought his opinion .

 Hello there Paul . After a brief visit to the Kooralya general store , Ken junior reckons people have plumped up quite a bit during lockdown .    Including you .   It's hard for me to tell, honestly , but I am sure you can , as usual , set us straight .   I reckon you are about the same weight . A smart man like you is obviously well aware of the mortality risks associated with morbid obesity , and would surely keep his weight within a healthy range .   Being big boned, you can carry more condition than most , and doubtless you have perused your genealogy carefully for any evidence of a genetic predisposition to sudden terminal coronary thombosis .

 But do keep an eye on your waistline Paul.  If , looking down , a chap can't sight his tackle , he is at quite a disadvantage .   Not that a chap needs to gloat over his abundance , but it behoves one to check the old joystick from time to time for signs of venereal contagion and the suchlike .

 Anyway , if you could let us know about your weight I would appreciate it .  We have a bet running here at The Sky Reply , and the lads who think you have plumped up will have to clean our rum still for the rest of the year if they are wrong .   

   Your comrade , Ken
